Yeah, I'd agree - there was a lot of trying to keep a foot in both worlds. Well, more trying to keep a safety net than anything else. But trying to figure out what she actually *sounds* like in her head around WWIII when briefly thinking about things...
I started writing her as clueless about the Doctor's feelings for her, which totally isn't right. She's savvy about that kind of thing, and she was able to use it against him in Father's Day. So she's NOT clueless. But then you get to The Doctor Dances where she throws out that "you know, men" line, which kinda says to me she wasn't really thinking of him in that way.
So...hmm.
You know, I wonder if she was having a bit of the same thing as the Doctor. In S1 I always get the vibe of the Doctor trying desperately not to think along those lines, because Rose was human and all. Of course, he completely failed. Maybe Rose was doing the same thing? Trying desperately not to think along those lines, because he was this 900-year-old alien? Rose was better at it than the Doctor though.
